Iditarod Grizzlys ask? WHY DON"T YOU WRITE????

Grizzly is on his second week of induction. This is getting easier but, still hard to curb the wheat and barley cravings. Give me ideas on Pork Rinds as far as cooking as a coating on chicken, chops etc. Never used them before and I'm a chef. New to this one, thanks

smash them up and use them just like bread crumbs.

you can also use grated parmegean cheese and oven bake your crust.

there is a mock french toast recipe using them that got mentioned on FOODTV even posted in our recipes section.

Not a fan of pork rinds myself so I don't use them, but I do love the parmesan as a coating as 2big mentioned! I use the dry canned kinda, I like to mix in herbs like parsley and oregano and coat chicken with it (dipped in egg yolk first). It's fairly salty though so make sure you don't salt the meat before coating.

Why don't you post your typical menu in the "Review My Menu" section. By the end of two weeks, ketosis should have kicked in and cravings should be decreased significantly.

Pork chops breaded with crushed pork rinds and spices is one of our favorite dinners now! I just crush the rinds up mix in whatever spices I'm in the mood for (leave out the salt, they're salty enough) then dip the chops in an egg wash and coat them with the crushed rinds mixture. I usually put a piece of saran wrap over the top of the chop and press it down firmly into the rinds so that they stick really well. Then fry them in a little oil in a preheated fry pan (I prefer cast iron) until they're done! Nice crispy coating and juicy chop! Yum!

I use ground pork rinds in place of bread crumbs for meatballs and meatloaf as well.

I have been working on a tuna or salmon patty and I think a light and fluffy pork rind might give it the extra twang I like.

OH, there is a recipe for crab cakes you can get from the Foodnetwork website from the low carb and loving it show that I think used pork rinds, if I'm remembering correctly.

Well living in Maryland, i should try to start a new Maryland Atkins Crabcake, sounds good to me!

I could live off of crabmeat...and CHEESE of course (not nesicarily together).
